Victory Christian Academy held their annual Veterans Day Service at the Indianola Community Church Friday, inviting veterans for a free breakfast and a ceremony with students singing songs, the folding of the flag, and presenting quilts of valor to veterans in attendance. Mindie Dumas with Victory Christian Academy tells KNIA News the event is not only a way to honor veterans, but to pass along the meaning of the day to the students.

“I think it gives them a sense of pride too, to be able to help the community and be able to help the veterans. It helps them understand that their freedom comes at a price and a sacrifice, and those are the men and women who did that.”

The Indianola HyVee provided a free breakfast at the event.
